“Hey, where are you going? You just woke up… hey!” and just in time that I woke up, I immediately stood up and ran towards my door.
No…
No…
No…
I don't want to see her. She is a liar.
“Don't follow me, Makaria” I said as I twisted the doorknob and immediately opened the door. I was about to go out when she held my hand.
“W-why? Hey, wait... what happened to you? You just fainted then poof you're mad?”
I closed the door again while I slowly shoved her hands off me and never even faced her.
“I can't even look at you right now”
“Hey, what happened? I don't understand” she tried to touch my shoulders and pull me next to her but I insisted. I really can't face her right now. I don't know what I might do or tell her. I want to scream.
“You lied,” I said, trying to hold back my anger.
“What?”
“You are not pregnant are you? Everything is just an act” still, facing the door… she then stopped pulling me and took off her hand on my shoulders.
“W-what? Where did all that come from? Hey, if Nemesis told you that she just wanted us to separate”
“Nemesis? How did you know that we met?”
“I… it's… it's just a…hunch” based on the tone of her voice, I know. I know that she is just having an alibi.
“Really? How many lies do you have huh?”
“N-not much…” Not much? How pathetic is that. How could she do this to me?!
“Including your pregnancy? You know what, even if Nemesis told me that you are just pretending, I didn't believe it because at once, I trusted you”
“Yes, you shouldn't be. Continue trusting me. I am telling you the truth”
How the hell can she still lie to me?! Why is she like that?! Why did she become like that?! The Mara that I know is far more different from her. And I hate it!
“No. You are not. And up until now, you are still lying”
“Thanatos…”
“I already remembered. I remembered everything. Nothing happened to us that night, you left me” and with that… there's a moment of silence. I think she was shocked that I remember now. Even though she is behind me and I can't see her, I still can feel her.
“I… I ugh… okay, okay fine. You got me. I am just faking it”
So that's it? That's her response? As if it is just nothing to her? What she did is not a big deal?
“I don't understand why you are doing this to me!!! Are you playing me? Sometimes I thought we were real but now? You just made me a fool!” and now I can't help it anymore. I punched my door leaving a mark. I can't hold back this anger of mine. I want to say a lot of things to her!
I want to hurt her but… I can't
“Well… yeah, I am… I am playing you”
Damn it! Those words cut my heart piece by piece. So it's really just like that? No sorry and everything?
Oh, come on, of course, she won't do that because she doesn't feel sorry for me.
“What the hell Makaria?! Why? What is it to you?”
“I enjoy it. I enjoy seeing you like a fool believing everything that I said”
She is a total psycho. I cannot believe that I am hearing this.
“That's it? That is your only reason? So you just admit everything and that's all?”
“Y-yeah. That's all. I enjoy fooling you around”
And I don't know why but… tears start to fall from my eyes. I am crying. Crying because of anger, crying because I can't do anything about her.
I believed her. She lied. Goddammit!
“Everything that we talked about, it's all an act? That's it?”
“Yeah, that's it.”
“About yesterday. The blood?”
“Yes, it's just me. Part of my drama okay? EVERYTHING IS AN ACT. You can… leave me now”
“I will. But I just realized that this is my house. So you should be the one who's leaving” that's the time that I moved away from the door and I turned around. I just had a glance at her but it didn't last for a minute.
She is…
Crying?
Oh, no. I am not sure about that, maybe my eyes are just trolling me or something. She won't cry. She is enjoying it, right?
“Okay, then… I'll leave” with that she quickly opened the door and walked out.
“I never thought that you'll get this far. I didn't know that you are that evil. Once I hoped that you could change but… no. In this life, you were born evil. And it is just hard for me to accept” I said before she even went far…
I know she heard it. But she just ignored it. So I slammed the door and went back to my bed.

MAKARIA'S POV
.
.
I don't understand why you are doing this to me!!! Are you playing me? Sometimes I thought we were real but now? You just made me a fool!
That man. It's not my fault, he is just stupid!
You know what, even if Nemesis told me that you are just pretending, I didn't believe it because at once, I trusted you
Well, I am a good actress. He is the one to blame because he easily trusts people who obviously can't be trusted. He knows that I am not a good boss, even a good person. But what? He believed in me?
He is a pathetic individual.
I never thought that you'll get this far. I didn't know that you are that evil. Once I hoped that you could change but… no. In this life, you were born evil. And it is just hard for me to accept
Yes. I know what I am. And I accept that. But for him? I don't even need his opinion. He is no one to me.
No one.
I just went back to my house and immediately sat down on my big sofa. I didn't expect that it'll be this fast. I thought my act would last a little while.
So… he knew?
Then… suddenly, I heard her voice. But I can't see where she is.
It's so cold here now.
“Yes,” I said as I gulped.
It's been a while since we talked this close
I can feel her presence around me. But she is not showing up.
“Yeah. It's… been a while”
We did great
“You almost really hit me by that car”
Did I? Well, you are still alive, aren't you?
“I almost thought that you really want me dead”
And I almost thought that you really like Thanatos.
Like? Him? Nah, he is a pathetic and stupid jerk.
“I… I don't like him”
Great, because I have so many plans. And I am glad that you are helping me with that.
“Why are you so obsessed with him?” I am curious. Because just when she knew that Thanatos was working in my company, she always checked upon him as if…
She was afraid…
She was afraid because instead of her doing that by herself, she is using me instead.
She can't face him for so long.
Well, he is the reason why I am still here. He is my favorite toy.
